Gallipoli launches later this year on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

BlackMill Games, creators of the historically grounded FPS WW1 Game Series, today revealed new footage from their game Gallipoli during IGN Fan Fest, highlighting the Siege of Kut Al Amara, one of the most significant battles on the Ottoman fronts of WW1.

Watch the Gallipoli: Siege of Kut Al Amara Trailer HERE.

Siege of Kut Al Amara
Developed with BlackMill’s signature commitment to historical authenticity, the Kut Al Amara campaign brings the siege to life across a battlefield that transitions from open desert warfare into dense urban combat. Players can fight from sun-scorched dunes and trench networks toward the town itself, battling through key strongholds such as the British “Mud Fort”, palm-lined approaches along the Tigris, and the narrow streets of Kut’s bazaar district.

Some of the new weapons coming to Gallipoli
The Arsenal found on the Ottoman Fronts often saw older weapons pushed back into service. Some of these were considered dated even by 1915, but in war necessity will always prevail. The American-made Peabody-Martini M1874 returned to the battlefield and saw service with many Ottoman troops, while the Hotchkiss Portative Mk.I provided mobile firepower much like the famous Lewis Gun, an icon of the fighting of the Great War.

Gallipoli aims to deliver large-scale, squad-based multiplayer combat set across the deserts, trench networks and defensive strongholds of Lower Mesopotamia. As the next standalone entry in the WW1 Game Series, Gallipoli expands on the franchise’s historically grounded first-person shooter gameplay, allowing players to fight as soldiers of the British Empire or Ottoman forces.

Blue Dot Games has unveiled a new Developer Tapes video for ‘83, revealing how real-time strategy mechanics elevate its upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical FPS. Set in an alternate 1983 where the Cold War escalated into global conflict, the latest showcase focuses on the Commander role – a strategic position focused on battlefield oversight, tactical decision-making and team coordination. The video offers an in-depth look at how this RTS-inspired system enhances teamwork and reshapes multiplayer engagements.

‘83 Developer Tapes #7 – Commanders

In ‘83, every team has the option for a single Commander. These leaders spend the majority of their time in the overhead command view, controlling the battle like a real-time strategy game; managing squads, deploying abilities, and reading the flow of combat from above. As a Commander, your first order of business is to set up a command post, where you can see squad positions, objectives, enemy markers, and key updates in real time. Think of it as your war room, everything important flows through this interface. From here, you can send attack or defend orders, or place waypoints on the map telling your soldiers where to go. Furthermore, Commanders have a dedicated Commander VOIP channel, available only to them and squad leaders, which can be used to issue orders and plan strategy without the distraction of general team chatter.

In addition to issuing squad orders, Commanders can call in a variety of support options like artillery and rocket barrages to clear areas or suppress enemies, smoke shells to block enemy lines of sight, reconnaissance aircraft that reveal enemy positions from high altitude, or a reinforcement wave tool to call in an instant respawn for your whole team. Abilities cost resources like fuel or munitions and have cooldowns, so timing and prioritization are key. Ultimately, playing the Commander is about situational awareness, team coordination, and tactical decision-making. You influence the shape of the battlefield, direct the momentum of each push, and guide your team toward victory…or defeat.

Electronic Arts Inc. and Battlefield Studios today launched Season 2 across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. Season 2 sends the fight to Europe with two new maps, limited-time modes, and much more, rolling out across three seasonal phases beginning today.

Launching across Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC, Season 2 introduces two all-new maps, Contaminated, a large-scale map set in a once-vibrant forest now scarred by experimental weapons and heavy shelling, alongside Hagental Base, a military facility that becomes the stage for intense close-quarters combat and stealth-focused gameplay later in the season.

BATTLEFIELD 6 OFFICIAL SEASON 2 GAMEPLAY TRAILER

Phase 1: Extreme Measures, begins today with the debut of Contaminated, and the introduction of VL-7, a new limited-time experience built around psychoactive smoke intensifying combat. These smoke clouds blanket key areas of the map, disorienting players with immersive hallucinations and forcing squads to adapt in real time.

On March 17, Phase 2: Nightfall takes the battle to the deepest depths of a military facility called Hagental Base. Tied to this phase’s theme, a limited time mode brings darkness to the map, where blacked out corridors create a stealth driven experience. Players gain access to Night Vision Goggles, allowing squads to navigate the darkness and gain the tactical advantage. Nightfall will also arrive in Battlefield REDSEC with a dedicated Gauntlet playlist.

Season 2 concludes on April 17 with Phase 3: Hunter & Prey, introducing Operation Augur, a limited-time mode across both Contaminated and Hagental Base. Inspired by Battlefield 1’s Operations mode, this is Battlefield at its most cinematic, with emphasis on large-scale objectives, sustained momentum, and squad coordination over the course of an extended campaign.

Additional Season 2 highlights include new weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and customization options rolling out across all three phases, along with a new Battle Pass and store content.

Battlefield 6 and REDSEC are available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam™, EA App, Epic Games Store).

Today, Battlefield Studios launched brand new seasonal content for Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC, with Today’s release of Season 1 – Winter Offensive. This update includes a frozen version of the Empire State map for limited-time game experiences, a Bonus Path containing the new Ice Climbing Axe and much more. The Winter Offensive update also arrives as the REDSEC Elite Series kicks off for top-tier competitive play.

Players can gear up, stay warm, and take complete control of the borough of Brooklyn in Ice Lock, a limited-time visual update to the Empire State map in Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. For this event in Battlefield 6, special versions of Conquest and Domination will be available to play with a Freeze mechanic fully active. With Freeze, areas around the Combat Zone have sub-zero temperatures – over time, a soldier will feel the effects of the Freeze. To avoid being frozen, soldiers can sprint or use an Adrenaline Injector. Alternatively, they can visit designated heat zones around the map to thaw out. This mechanic is only active in specific experiences and is designed to challenge squads to tactically manage resources. Do players risk freezing over to capture a crucial objective or pack enough heat in their loadouts to torch the opposition?

Ice Lock is also coming to REDSEC and will feature a Limited-Time variant in Gauntlet that adds to the experience’s relentless nature with the sheer force of harsh winter conditions. Ice Lock Gauntlet will have a locked set of three missions in every match: Deadlock, Extraction and Wreckage.

With the Winter Offensive Bonus Path players can access a number of new unlockables including the new Ice Climbing Axe and premium customization rewards.

For those mastering Portal, the Winter Offensive update will now be able to use the following new features in their creations allowing more freedom than ever to craft and customize unforgettable experiences.

The Winter Offensive update (Patch 1.1.3.0) also includes improvements to soldier clarity, weapon reliability, vehicle behavior, audio consistency, and overall gameplay flow. More technical information about these patches can be found in the “Game Updates” section of our website here.
